Can Anyone Identify This?


We were sitting in the office yesterday and saw this beautiful bird!  I quickly got my camera and snapped some shots- all are through the window so not the best photos but I think they are still very pretty.  
 I got a shot of his back side as well.
I loved it how he would keep one leg on one branch and step down to get to the berries on the other branch.

 He was having a blast in the American Beautyberries and didn't seem to notice my slow movement inside to get closer and closer to the window.

 I have no idea what kind of bird he is but he is beautiful.  The other day you all helped me identify the Painted Bunting- hopefully you can help me with this guy.
It was so fun to sit and watch him. 


 I eventually tried to slowly open the door but he flew away, luckily I got some good shots before I tried the door.
Thanks for looking and hopefully you can identify him!

Anyone Know What This Is?



You can not tell by my photos but this is one of the prettiest birds I have seen in a long time. He was hanging out by the front door in the Beautyberries.  I got my camera and he jumped over to the pot with the Birds of Paradise in it and I was able to shoot two photos through the window.   I wanted to at least have one photo of him in case he bolted.  I tried opening the door slooooowwwllllyyyy but he still flew away.  Can anyone tell from these horrible shots what kind of bird it is?  He's so pretty!!!
